« The "Wider War:" Why Iraq is still the flypaper for the terrorists Home To raise morale at home and overseas »

April 12, 2004

Over the weekend, the British press has been buzzing with their own breakthroughs in the WOT, revealing British Islamist links to both the current Shiite uprising and the Madrid bombings:
Revealed: militants plotted Iraq anniversary rebellion in London
Madrid Train Bomb Suspects 'Called British Islamic Leader'

I don't suppose that British Islamic Leader was Captain Hook, Abu Hamza, the fanatical IslamoNazi cleric of the Finsbury Park mosque, was it?
Given the fact that British authorities have recently uncovered 2 bomb plots in the last few weeks (one explosives, the other chemical) and early in 2003, 7 suspects were taken into custody when a ricin poisoning plot by Ansar al-Islam was discovered in north London, it's clear that they have one or more terror cells in their borders and have a lot of work to do.
I suppose we can also conclude that Britain is more Islamo-friendly than even Germany or France but I think that's about to change very quickly, as Home Secretary David Blunkett has proposed making it a crime for a person to even associate with terrorists.
